"Second-year coach Chad Morris is one of college football's top offensive minds and it won't be long until the Mustangs show marked improvement in the win column," he wrote. "Lost in SMU's 2-10 campaign last fall was a solid season from Davis.

"The former Texas A&M quarterback played in all 12 games and ranked fifth in the American Athletic Conference by averaging 252 total yards per game. Davis should continue to progress under the watchful eye of Morris this fall."

Davis finished the 2015 season with 2,263 passing yards, 761 rushing yards and 26 total touchdowns.
